About Us:

Newfield is noted for its scenic vistas and the historic covered bridge to be found in the center of town. The cultural and educational assets of Ithaca and the major universities of Cornell and Ithaca College are just minutes away.

Our community takes great pride in our schools. The facilities are first-rate and a source of pride with well-equipped classrooms, state-of-the-art computer and telecommunications systems, and modern athletic facilities. Our small, rural district offers quality programs to match our facilities. Beginning with our daycare and Pre-K program and ending with the varied offerings in high school, our educational programs are challenging, diverse and focused on bringing forth the most from each student. In addition to the academic programs, Newfield offers many clubs, sports and other extra-curricular opportunities for our students.
